An Olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. As she dives, kinetic energy becomes of her energy just before she hits the water.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field. In simple terms, it can be said that gravitational potential energy is an energy that is related to gravitational force or to gravity.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.

When the high diver is standing stable and not moving , that diver has a gravitational potential energy because of the height . The moment she dives , before hitting the water , from being stationary she gained some momentum and come in motion , due to motion her gravitational potential energy will change to kinetic energy before hitting the ground.

The radius of the aorta is about 1 cm and the blood flowing through it has a speed of about 30 cm/s. Calculate the average speed
puteri [66]

Answer:

The average speed of the blood in the capillaries is 0.047 cm/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the aorta, r₁ = 1 cm

speed of blood, v₁ = 30 cm/s

Area of the aorta, A₁ = πr₁² = π(1)² = 3.142 cm²

Area of the capillaries, A₂ = 2000 cm²

let the average speed of the blood in the capillaries = v₂

Apply continuity equation to determine the average speed of the blood in the capillaries.

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

v₂ = (A₁v₁) / (A₂)

v₂ = (3.142 x 30) / (2000)

v₂ = 0.047 cm/s

Therefore, the average speed of the blood in the capillaries is 0.047 cm/s.

A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.13 m and mass 175 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of 0.651 rev/s. A 55.4 kg per
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find out the angular velocity of merry-go-round after person jumps on it , we shall apply law of conservation of ANGULAR momentum

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

I₁ is moment of inertia of disk , I₂ moment of inertia of running person , I is the moment of inertia of disk -man system , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of disc and man .

I₁ = 1/2 mr²

= .5 x 175 x 2.13²

= 396.97 kgm²

I₂ = m r²

= 55.4 x 2.13²

= 251.34 mgm²

ω₁ = .651 rev /s

= .651 x 2π rad /s

ω₂ = tangential velocity of man / radius of disc

= 3.51 / 2.13

= 1.65 rad/s

I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁  + I₂ ) ω

396.97 x  .651 x 2π + 251.34 x 1.65 = ( 396.97 + 251.34 ) ω

ω = 3.14 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²

= 3196 J
